$PECIFICATION forming part of Letters Patent No. 374.744, dated December13, 1887.

' Application filed October 4, 1887. Serial No.251,419. (No model.)

To all whom it may concern:

Be it known that I, NATHANIEL KINNEY, of Amity, Democracy P.O.,iu thecounty of Knox and State of Ohio, have invented a new and ImprovedPegging-Jack, of which the following is a full, clear, and exactdescription.

This invention relates toau improvement in pegging-jacks for holdingboots or shoes; and it consists in a. pegging-jack constructed ashereinafter described and claimed.

The object of the invention is to provide a pegging-jack which isadapted to be raised and lowered, so that work maybe performed upon aboot or shoe held thereon at different heights.

The pegging-jack constructed in accordance with this invention is madein sections so connected that the upper section carrying the shoe-clampmay be lowered and raised to adapt it to different heights.

. Reference is to be had to the accompanying drawings, forming a part ofthis specification, in which similar figures of reference indicatecorresponding parts in all the views.

Figure 1 is a side view of the pegging-jack, the sections resting uponone another. Fig. 2 is an end View thereof. Fig. 3 is an end viewshowing the upper section ofthe peggingjack lowered in a tiltingposition, and Fig. 4 is an end View showing the upper section inposition for pounding leather.

In constructing my peggingjack I form it in sections 1 2, connectedtogether in any suitable manner, so that the upper section may belowered and raised adjacent to the lower sectiou. As here shown, I haveconnected the sections by means of links or pivoted arms 3, mounted'onpins 4, extending through the uprights 5 of the sections. The lowersection, 2, has its uprights 5 resting upon a base, 6, one of saiduprights being secured thereto and the other being provided with a slot,7, which fits over a rail or rib, 8, on the base 6, on which it isadapted to be moved. The upright just mentioned, together with theupright of the upper section resting thereon, is adj ustably connectedwith the opposite uprights by means of bars 9, projecting throughopenings 10 in the uprights 5, said bars being provided with slots 11,with which latches 12, adapted to rest in a hook, 13, engage. By theconstruction just described the movable uprights are adjustable towardthe fixed uprights to provide for shoesof different lengths resting onthe upper edges of the upper section.

To clamp a boot or shoejn place, I provide a lever, 14, which may bemounted in the upper section in any suitable manner. I have shown ithaving one end pivoted in a slot, 15, to a'pin, 16, in a rotating bar,17, mounted in bearings 18 on the upright 5. By means of this connectionthe lever 14 may have a vertical and lateral movement, for a purposehereinafter described. The lever 14 isprovided with a strip, 20, havingan" edge, 21, which is adapted to engage notches 22 in a plate, 23, onthe upright 5. The lever 14, with its plate 20, projects through anopening, 19, in the upright 5, and by means of a handle, 24, and thepivot-joint of the lever 14 the latter may be swung vertically andlaterally into and out of engagement with the notched plate 23, andthereby secure and release an endless strap, 25, on the lever 14, whichserves to hold a shoe, 26, against pads 27, formed of leather or otherproper material suitably stuffed and mounted on the upright 5. The pads27 serve to prevent the shoe from becoming soiled.

The upper section is provided with a pounding-block, 28, attachedthereto at any convenient point. The sections'may'be made of suitotherthe top of the upper section will be at a convenient height for aworkman to work upon a shoe in a standing position.

In order to render the jack convenient for a workman when sitting downto work upon a shoe, the upper section is moved off of the lower sectionand swung down until it rests on the base 6 adjacent to the lowersection, as shown in dotted lines in Fig. 2.

When it is desired to use the pounding-block 28 for pounding leather,the upper section may be turned over, so as to rest horizontally on thelower section, and the pounding-block will then be in a convenientposition for use.

By means of this invention the peggiug-jack is easily adapted forpegging,'sewing, or patching shoes in a raised or lowered position.

I do not desire to limit myself to the precise construction andarrangement of parts shown, as the same may be varied without departingfrom the principle of my invention.

Having thus fully described my invention,

able length, so that when resting upon one anwhat I claim as new, anddesire to secure by Letters Patent, i's

1. Thepegging-jack herein described, formed of sections resting upon oneanother and connected by pivoted bars, whereby the upper section may bebrought down and placed in an upright position adjacent to the lowersection, substantially as described.

2. The pegging'jack herein described, consisting of sections restingupon one another and connected by pivoted links or bars, the lowersection having one of its uprights fixed to a base and the othertogether with the upright of the upper section, adj ustably connected tothe opposite uprights, substantially as described.

3. In the pegging-jack herein described, the combination, with the lowersection having a fixed and adjustable upright connected together andmounted on a base, of an upper movable section connected to the lowersection by pivoted links and having a fixed and ad- I justable uprightconnected together, and a lever and endless strap, said lever beingadapted to be adjustably-locked, substantially as described.

4. Thepegging-jackhe'rein described,formed of sections having pivotalconnections, whereby the upper section may be tilted to rest upon thelower section, the upper section being provided with a pounding-block,substantially as described.

5. A pegging-jack consisting of the sections 1 2, connected by pivotedlinks 3, said sections being formed of uprights 5, adjustably connectedby the slotted bars 9 and latches 12, and the upper section beingprovided with a notched plate, 23, a flanged lever, 14, an endlessstrap, 25, and padded ends 27, substantially as described.
